The Mexican navy confirmed this morning that a man killed in a weekend shootout is in fact Heriberto Lazcano Lazcano, the leader of the Zetas drug cartel.

“The analysis of the photographic images of the criminal ... show that the physical features coincide with those of Heriberto Lazcano Lazcano,” the navy said in a news release that included pictures of the body.

The pictures show a middle-aged man with a square jaw and short, dark hair on an autopsy table.

Meanwhile, Mexican media and the Associated Press reported that Lazcano's body went missing after it was taken to a funeral home near the border.

Coahuila Attorney General Homero Ramos told the Associated Press that a group of armed men raided the funeral home and stole the corpse and that of another man killed with Lazcano.

The navy announced Monday night that they believed Lazcano was one of two people killed by marines over the weekend in a confrontation in northern Mexico.
